Tokyo has urged Beijing to “ensure the safety of Japanese residents in China” after a wave of telephone harassment targeting businesses in Japan sparked by the controversial discharge of Fukushima wastewater.
While Japan insists the release of the treated water is safe - a view backed by the UN’s nuclear watchdog - China has staunchly opposed it and banned all Japanese seafood imports, saying it contaminates the ocean.
The Japanese government on Sunday (Aug 27) published new data showing waters off Fukushima continued to post radioactivity levels well within safe limits.
Yeah because it’s not as if TEPCO would lie to the public about danger they were in. or try to release water that wasn’t safe by not planning to have anywhere to store it or fail to filter the way they claimed
They’re definitely trustworthy this time. Anyone who doesn’t believe everything they say is just crazy, there is absolutely no reason to not take everything they say at face value. Why are you even checking?
Realistically this is China playing political games, but it is also Japan playing political games to try and paint all the times they were lying and there was danger (andnall the times they intend to lie) as innocuous.
